are continuing the CDs on Finding God's Will Annoying God's wilth for a life,

today, I'm going to talk about a very short, yet profound aspect many

of us fail to realize because we tend to over spiritualize things to an extent

where we've totally neglect this important aspect, and that is the aspect of common

sense. Now, I want to tell you something you know. Yes,

I believe in the supernatural. I have faith that God can do the impossible,

and there's no doubt about it. Because we serve a God who can

turn the tables around suddenly. I have undeniable amount of faith in the impossibilities

that God can perform in and through our life. But at the same time,

we should not neglect the aspect of common sense, right because sometimes or

in many cases, when we want God to do something, you know,

we can beat a place where we want something to happen. We tend to

wish for something which actually does not align with God's will, but we want

it so we can saying, you know what, I think, that's God.

You get what I'm saying, even though it is totally you know,

like there's a big gap between where you are and what you want which does

not align with what God wants to give you. What can happen is you

know, you can totally neglect the aspect of common sense and just go to

this place where you want something to happen. You get what I'm saying.

So it is important that you have faith trust God for the impossible. But

at the same time you have to learn to accept the reality. You know,

in terms of Okay, this is where God has placed me, and

this is what it is, and if God is leading me in this direction,

I should be content in that, and you know, to be grateful

to God for the way He's leading and things like that. So you have

to be in a place where you are also you know, grounded in the

reality of where you are. I hope you're getting what I'm saying right.

Let me just start off giving an example. Now, imagine I'm just saying,

you know what, I believe God can do the impossible, So you

know, tomorrow I should become or in the future I should become, you

know, the president of the United States of America. To be honest,

that is just not possible. Why do I say that, Yes, God

can do the impossible. God has all power, He has all glory.

But the truth is, if you look at a from the realm of common

sense, you know, there is a policy which says, you know,

if a person should become the president of the United States of America, they

should be born in the United States of America. And I don't come under

the category, do you know what I'm saying. So, no matter how

many times I can say, you know, I saw you know, this

desire, so I really believe God can do this for me. I know

God can do the impossible. So you know what I'm going to pray and

stand and fast, and you know, ask God that one day I'll become

the president of the United States. You have to understand that there is a

place where you do trust God for the impossible, but under the category of

common sense. I hope you're getting what I'm saying. It's so important that

you do not neglect common sense. And this is not something just me saying,

but this is also something the Word of God is saying. I want

to quote or share a couple of scriptures with you and then take it forward

in today's section one is Problems, chapter three, verse to anyone, which

says, my child, don't lose sight of common sense and discernment. Hang

on to them, don't lose sight of common sense and discernment. Remember,

we believe in God for the impossible. We know that God is a God

who can go beyond the realm of logic senses. We are having no doubt

about it, right, But at the same time, it should come in

line with the aspect of common sense, like the example I gave you.

Right, Yes, if if it was really true that God wanted me to

become the primary president of the United States of America, he could have made

sure that I was born in the US or you know, I was listening

to the story of a baby the parents are not even from the US,

but it so happened this baby was born while the plane was traveling in the

as space of US, so that baby gets then natural citizenship of the US.

You know, this story that I came across. Now, when you

look at it, it's such an arbitrary case. But here's the thing.

That baby has a chance to become the president of the United States just because

the baby was born in the space of the US while the plane was traveling

across the US ground. Now, Now, what I'm saying trying to say

is, you know, if God was intending, you know, for me

to be the president of the United States of America, God can do the

impossible. It could be just that, you know, a plane in which

my parents were traveling and I could be born, you know, in the

space of the US, which could qualify me to become the president of some

day if at all, I hope you're getting what I'm saying. What I'm

trying to say is, if it is from the Lord, you can do

even such rarest of things to make it happen. But if that doesn't happen,

and the fact that that policy that you know you should be a bond

citizen of the US is still there. That means, how much ever I

have faith, there is an element where I have to use my common sense

and say, you know what, this is not for me. You get

what I'm saying. How much ever I pray, how much ever I throw

than rims or you know, fast and you know seek the Lord, and

anything I do under the sand is just not going to happen. You ge

know what I'm saying. So there is an element where you should not lose

sight of common sense. Yes, be spiritual, yes, trust in God,

but don't miss out on common sense. Now, another scripture I want

to share with your problems tend was to anyone which says that the fools are

destroyed by their lack of common sense. Fools are destroyed by the lack of

common sense. I'll give you a practical example. You know, about two

years ago I made a choice, a decision where I'll be honest in saying

this from the best of my heart. My heart was in the right place.

I was trying to learn to hear God's voice properly and I took counsel

of certain people I know made choices. You know, I made the decision

based on Okay, I asked God for a sign and I got a confirmation

all of that was true. But as days went by, in one of

the decisions that I made in this particular issue, you know, in a

literal sense, I I I was like so caught up, like with you

know, okay, you know what God has already shown me this that so

I you know, I just kind of, you know, UM neglected common

sense. I would say, you know, um in making a decision that

actually, you know, made a big impact in my life, and it

affected me in so many ways. It affected me financially, it affected me,

you know, like mentally, emotionally, I was just you know,

um, I went into a very bad place. I think for three or

four months. I was like in deep depression and it affected me in so

many things. And when I came out of it and you know, started

afresh, and when I look back and I said, I was thinking about

that old decision that I made, and I realized, you know, I

operated from a place where I neglected common sense. You know, there were

so many red flags all around, but I was. I was just close

to all of that as I was like, you know what, I just

trust God, I have faith that you know this and that and things like

that. That I was so focused on all of that that I if I

had only used my common sense, I could have saved a lot of heartache

and pain. And so the scripture. When I read the scripture, I

was like, man, this is for me. I made this mistake,

and I want to share with you guys, so that you don't make you

know, the same mistake. Problems eight was for I. Also, you

know, tells us learn sense, learn sense. I think you know,

by the end of the day, it all comes down to your telling God,

God, give me the wisdom, you know, give me the discernment

and helped me to have that common sense. You know, the protical sac

at one particular point, he comes to a place where he's the scripture says,

you know, he came into his senses. You know the words.

There's a moment in your life when you say, God, I want to

learn sense, help me to come into my senses, and you know,

start operating from that. And another scripture I want to share with you before

we you know, wind up in today's section is this PROBABS Chapter twenty one,

verse sixteen says, the person who's strays from common sense will end up

in the company of the dead. The person who strays from common sense will

end up in the company of the dead. To let that be, you

allow God to guide you, and at the same time, you know you

use that practical sense that God has given you common sense, and I'm sure

it'll help you along with the way I will see you in the next episode.

every drop of his blood on the cross. Thank you for dying for my

sins. When you believe in Him, you have free gift or salvation for
